'Interdimensional Multispatial Stereo Phaser'
KMA Audio Machines - 'Horizont'
modern phase for the modern artist‘Horizonts’ mission is simple, to go above and beyond where traditional Phaser’s lie, and to take you on a journey deep into unchartered Phaser realms the moment you step on this modern Phaser unit. Through combining the magnificent analogue JFET phasing with digitally controlled dynamics, the ‘Horizont’ offers an expansive and expressive take on the modulation experience, all along whilst delivering experimental and creative features that brings phasing kicking and screaming into the modern age.
Alongside the traditional phaser controls, ‘Horizont’ showcases a whole range of new exciting opportunities for space-bound tone chasers. In order to vastly expand the range of phase tone on offer, KMA integrated a digital LFO with no less than 8 varying waveforms: ‘Ramp Up/Down’, ‘Sine/Triangle/Square’ wave, a sweeping waveform, ‘Sample & Hold’ and a random slope waveform going from 20s all the way to 40ms.
The Horizont’s envelope generator is of the key features inside this modern phaser unit. It takes your input signal into a control source, to modulate the speed of the digitally controlled LFO, or enables you to manually phase for resonant touch wah-like sound, dependent on the state of the SWP and ‘Spurtcontrol’ switch.
Amazing Features
• Multi-spatial JFET Phaser – with 8 different waveforms
• LFO, Envelope and Manually controlled phasing – for a world of dynamic phaser tones
• Effects loop – create super unique phaser tones by adding in other pedals
• Tap Tempo – for precise tempo sync, live and in the studio
• Stereo Outs – for standard stereo or stereo panning mode
• Expression and CV in - for super expressive phaser tones
• Handmade in Berlin, Germany
• Powered by 9V PSU
Dynamic Modulation
tap tempo functionalitySet the ‘Spurtcontrol’ knob to LFO to let the ‘Spurt’ knob determine the internal phasing speed. However, by flicking the switch to ENV (Envelope) mode, this enables you to dynamically modulate the speed along the full LFO speed range, based on how loud the input source is (e.g. when you attack the strings hard).
It’s also possible to combine the ‘Spurt’ knob and the envelope by flicking the toggle to LFO+ENV where ‘Spurt’ then determines the minimum speed. For even greater control, you can even plug in an external expression pedal/CV-source (0-5V) to alter the minimum speed on-the-fly or you can use the ‘Tap Tempo’ switch (tap just twice) to set the speed to fit alongside the tempo of your music.
The EXP-Mode switch also lets you choose between a manual phasing mode, controlled by an expression-pedal or an external CV source. Setting the EXP-Mode switch to the middle position will disable any external expression control. The SWP (Sweep) switch lets you decide to use either the LFO or the envelope of your instrument signal to control the phasing.
'Levitate Through Spacetime'
stereo outputIn order for you to levitate through spacetime, we’ve also added a stereo output to the ‘Horizont’. You can switch between a standard stereo output or a panning output, via the ‘Stereopan’ switch.
Synchronized with the LFO speed, the upper cycle of the LFO sends the signal to the OUT1 and the bottom cycle to the OUT2. This is without a shadow of a doubt the most liquid and astonishing phasing experience you’ll ever embark upon. But wait, there’s more! Stop and take a deep breath, set the MIX control to fully clean and the Horizont is transformed into a Tremolo on-the-spot, with all the other aforementioned features.
Last but by no means least, KMA equipped the Horizont with an FX-Loop right in front of the phase-shifting line. This enables you to add your own secret sonic weapons to this spaceship, seeing you create your very own unique phasing sounds. We’ve also increased the pedal’s headroom drastically by boosting the internal circuit voltage to 18V, from the regular 9V input, to give the cleanest phasing possible no matter what instrument or line source you use.
